Match Preview
Dender will host Mechelen at the Van Roystadion on Friday, 17 October, in a crucial Pro League clash. Dender's recent form has been concerning, with just one draw in their last five matches, leaving them struggling to find their rhythm. In contrast, Mechelen enters the game with a more positive outlook, having secured two wins in their last five outings. This disparity in form could play a significant role in the match outcome. Historically, the head-to-head record suggests a competitive rivalry, with Mechelen edging Dender slightly in their last ten encounters (4 wins to 3). Notably, nine of these matches have seen both teams scoring, indicating a trend that could continue given the attacking capabilities of both sides. With Dender's need for points to climb the table and Mechelen looking to solidify their position, fans can expect an engaging match where both teams are likely to find the back of the net.
